at starbucks, our breakfast destination. so glad that when i aimed the camera at us, this is what i got back :)

then chris got these of us:

my lovebug. i could get all mushy about how she's five and how we spend our days together... but i won't. i think anyone who reads this blog knows my love for my family. just wanted to share this series of pics of us because they make me so happy :) total happiness and warm comfort captured here! :)

eating out usually makes me very happy but i got homesick for my own kitchen on this trip. weird!

i am aware that time together is so refreshing and rewarding. and that our time together as a whole family is slowly coming to an end as the big kids get older. already now, every weekend the big kids are scarcely around as their social lives expand. i want to keep these little getaways in my heart as it's focused time where we are in each other's faces 24 hours a day. it seems like it was just yesterday when i was a mother with 3 under five. when my days seemed so long and i couldn't fill them with enough activities. now we are trying to please all 4 who are sooo entirely different.. trying to keep their attention for a bit longer before they are off on their own little getaways. my crew. spring break 2011. xooxoxox
